Description
Summary:The quality of magnetic resonance is likely to continue to improve, and it may have a future role as a single, "one-stop" assessment of operability in such patients because of the potential to show blood vessels elegantly, as well as other structures. 10 An area where MRCP has already shown itself to be invaluable in clinical decision making is the patient where endoscopic access to the bile duct is impossible, particularly because of previous surgery. 11 The report from Adamek et al, together with at least 15 other publications in the first quarter of this year, helps to define the current position of MRCP.
